Humble Bundle – official statement about region-locking for the Nindie bundle
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 3 Comments
The Humble Nindie Bundle is a fantastic new sale that offers a bunch of great Wii U and 3DS indie games at a very low price. However, the downloadable package is only valid for those with North American systems, which is atypical for the site.
Here’s an official statement about the situation straight from Humble Bundle:
We recently launched the Humble Nindie Bundle, a digital bundle for the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U systems. For many of you, the bundle is region-locked, and we apologize if the games are unavailable in your country.
One of the reasons we launched the first Humble Bundle was to bring indie games to more people. We agree that region-locking is not ideal. But without it, we may not have had this opportunity to promote these great indie games on dedicated video game platforms.

Nintendo “tried for months” to make the Humble Nindie Bundle global
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 15 Comments
A surprising Humble Bundle sale kicked off earlier today. Nintendo made history as the first company to have games from its systems represented, which is made up of various indie titles. The bundle is an absolute steal, and you have to commend Nintendo on making it happen. There is, however, one notable downside: codes are only valid for those with North American Wii U and 3DS systems.
Based on a comment from Nintendo’s Damon Baker, it sounds like the lack of European support wasn’t entirely the company’s fault. Baker wrote on Twitter that he “tried for months to make it global”. In the future, he believes that they’ll be able to have Europe included in the sale.
@Jason_Lepine @seven5three Yep, it's only a @NintendoAmerica deal. Tried for months to make it global but we'll get there eventually!
